A popular road race in Hounslow is under threat as its organiser prepares to retire.
Jeff Marshall has organised more than half of all the editions of the Peter Young Memorial Road Race which has been going since 1971.
But unless someone comes forward to take over the running of the event, which is taking place this Sunday (March 28) it could be lost.
The 85-mile race sets off from Valley End School at 10.30am. This year’s 80-strong field will include Gary Dodd, of Sigma Sport, who won in 2005 and last year, and Tony Gibb, of Cycle Premier-Metaltek CRT, the winner in 2006.
Former Italian pro Flavio Zappi, 48, will also be in action leading a team of young riders under the banner Team Zappi. He won a King of the Mountains jersey in the Giro d’Italia in the 1980s and is now resident in the UK, owning a cafe in Oxford.
For more on the event, and if you can offer any organisational ability for next year's ride, visit www.hounslowanddistrictwheelers.co.uk
I've got a Brooks B17 on my new bike and it's the most comfortable saddle I've owned
I read somewhere (may have been on this very site?) that the parking charges will raise just enough money to pay for the changes that drivers want...
FTFY
Except that air mixed with CO is, er, air, since there's no fixed definition of the constituent makeup of air - it's just the mix of gases around us.
The article states "In fact, we'd go as far as to say the response has been unsatisfactory to everyone other than the brand itself." I guess I'm...
The parking (for free on public roads) and the people are one....
Agreed - but with a bit more set-back from roundabout. Also how well respected is this in practice?...
"the cost to rebuild the M25 junction 10/A3 Wisley interchange is £317 million. The project is expected to be completed in 2025. "
I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.
In all fairness, it almost certainly NEVER happened…
